• HUELVA

Read moreAlthough it lacks the other region’s major attraction, the central area of Huelva is quite a pretty town, with plazas, museums, cathedral and because it is a bustling port there are numerous seafood bars and restaurants by the coast.  It is worth visiting the Columbus sites whilst you are in the city, the town centre of Huelva itself and the Rabida Monastery.  This is the place where Columbus sought the help of the Franciscan brothers in his search for the new world.

 

• SEVILLA

SevillaIs the capital of Andalucia and is the artitistic, cultural and financial capital of southern Spain.  The city still reflects its Moorish past and after the reconquest of the catholic monarch the city has further flourished by constructing more public buildings, churches, cathedrals, museums and plazas.  Whilst in the centre, it is worth visiting the old city with its wonderful Cathedral and the Giralda Tower and close by is the fortress or Alcazar with its splendid gardens.  The Santa Cruz quarter is also not be missed, it is a lovely area with tiny cramped streets, balconies filled with plants and flowers, beautifully decorated building facades, and secret patios.
